Hazael berkata: "Mengapa tuanku menangis?" Jawab Elisa: "Sebab aku tahu bagaimana malapetaka yang akan kaulakukan kepada orang Israel: kotanya yang berkubu akan kaucampakkan ke dalam api, terunanya akan kaubunuh dengan pedang, bayinya akan kauremukkan dan perempuannya yang mengandung akan kaubelah."
Maka kata Hazael: Mengapa tuan menangis? Maka sahutnya: Sebab kuketahui akan segala jahat yang kauperbuat akan bani Israel kelak; bahwa engkau akan menunukan kota bentengnya dengan api dan membunuh orang muda-mudanya dengan pedang dan meremukkan anak-anaknya dan membelahkan orangnya perempuan yang bunting.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And Hazael said, Why weepeth my lord?.... Imagining it was for the death of Benhadad he had predicted, for which he could see no reason; of the title, "my lord", see 1 Kings 18:7
and he answered, because I know the evil that thou wilt do unto the children of Israel; which he foresaw by a spirit of prophecy; and Israel being his own people, he sympathized in their calamities before they came:
their strong holds wilt thou set on fire; which should be taken by him, see 2 Kings 10:32
and their young men wilt thou slay with the sword; in battle:
and wilt dash their children; against rocks and stones, or stone walls, or upon the ground, floor, or pavement, as was usual in war g, see
Psalms 137:9,
and rip up their women with child: which was the height of barbarity and cruelty. Ben Gersom and Ben Melech interpret this of breaking down the walls of fortified cities, built strong, like hills and mountains; but this is supposed in the first clause.
g Vid. Homer. Iliad. 22. ver. 63, 64.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
The evil that thou wilt do - The intention is not to tax Hazael with special cruelty, but only to enumerate the ordinary horrors of war, as it was conducted among the Oriental nations of the time. Compare the marginal references.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse 2 Kings 8:12. I know the evil that thou wilt do — We may see something of the accomplishment of this prediction, 2 Kings 10:32-33; 2 Kings 13:3; 2 Kings 13:7.
